BURNER ATTACHMENT FOR GAS-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 691,356, dated January 21, 1902.

Application filed July 15, 1901- Serial No. 68,290. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR H. CooMBs, of the city of St. Louis, State of Missou ri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burner Attachments for Gas-Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

This invention relates to burner attachments for gas-stoves; and it consists of the novel construction,combination,and arrange ment of parts hereinafter shown, described, and claimed.

The object of this invention is to provide a burner attachment for gas-stoves comprising a large or main burner provided with a surrounding casing having valve-controlled pipes leading therefrom to the other burners, so that the flames and heat may be deflected fromthe main burner to the other burners without admitting gas thereto.

Figure 1 is a plan View showing one form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the casing in which the burners of the main burner are inclosed. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same.

In the form shown I provide a main burner 1, to which gas is supplied in any known manner, and which is located at one corner, the other burners being located adjacent thereto. However, the main burner may be located centrally or between the other burners, which arrangement may be preferred in some instances.

The usual form of grate is employed, and below the grate is a casing 2, which incloses the burners. This casing is shown separate from the grate and is composed of sheet metal bent into the required form. However, it may be formed in a single casting with the grate, if preferred. This casing is provided with a bottom 3, substantially in the shape of an inverted cone, and provided with an opening, which may be closed by means of a slide 4. This permits the removal of any substances which may become located within the casing, so that it need not become obstructed to limit the usefulness of the burner. Openings 5 are formed in the sides of the casing toward the other burners. A pipe 6 leads from each of said openings, and the ends of said pipes terminate under the adjacent burners, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, These pipes are controlled by the valves or dampers 7, provided with the usual operating means 8, whereby they may be entirely closed or partially or entirely opened, as desired. The outer ends of the said pipes 6 are flared, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the flames and heat which pass through the said pipes may be spread through the entire burner.

In operation the gas is admitted to the burners within thecasing'2 and is ignited in the usual manner, and the said burners may be used alone by operating the valves or dampers 7 to close the pipes 6. When so operated, the entireheat will be utilized from a single burner; but by opening the said valves or dampers 7 a portion of the flames and heat will be deflected by the pot or other utensil, which may be upon the main burner through the pipes 6, so that heat will be supplied to the other burners, to which saidpipes load, without admitting gas directly to these burners. These burners may also be used merely as warmers by admitting only a portion of the heat to the pipes. This is done by leaving a small passage through these pipes by partially opening the valves or dampers 7. In this manner a greater or less amount of heat, as required, may be supplied to these burners with only one burner supplying all the heat which is used throughout the entire number. These burners, however, as shown,

are specially provided with burners of ordinary construction, so that they may be used also in the usual manner, when desired, or in combination with the heat which is supplied from the main burner, so that a very intense heat may be derived from these burners, as required.

I claim- A burner attachment for gas-stoves,consisting of a main burner, a casing adjacent to said burner, the said casing havinga conical bottom provided with an opening, a slide for closing said opening, a number of secondary burners, pipes leading from said casing to the secondary burners, and dampers located in said pipes for controlling the passage of the heat therethrough, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR H. OOOMBS.
